Types of Wheel Pulleys
-
Fixed Pulleys
Fixed pulleys are used to change the direction of force applied to a load. They are commonly found in flagpoles and clotheslines.
-
Movable Pulleys
Movable pulleys are designed to reduce the amount of force needed to lift a load. They are often used in elevators and cranes.
-
Compound Pulleys
Compound pulleys combine fixed and movable pulleys to provide both a mechanical advantage and change in direction. They are utilized in sailboat riggings and construction hoists.
